Event

Farmers for America Film Screening

Date: February 13, 2018

Time: 6:30 pm

Location: Washington College, Washington Avenue, Chestertown, MD, USA

This documentary traces the extraordinary changes coming to America’s food system as more and more consumers flock to farmers’ markets, embrace farm-to-table lifestyles and insist on knowing where their food is coming from. At the center of the film are the farmers, young and old, who provide the spirit and energy to bring urban and rural America together over what both share in common: our food. These farmers reflect nothing less than the face of America.

With the average age of today’s farmer at 60, and rural America losing population as the cost of land and equipment soars, this film reveals the people waiting to take their place, the practices they’re championing and the obstacles they must overcome.

This film screening is sponsored by the Center for Environment & Society and is FREE and open to the public. The event will take place in Norman James Theatre at 6:30 pm on Tuesday, February 13th.
